KHN: California’s Top Hospital
Lobbyist Cements Influence In Covid Crisis
As intensive care units filled and coronavirus cases surged over the holidays,
Carmela Coyle invoked a World War II-era quote attributed to British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill to rally her own troops: “If you’re going through
hell, keep going.” Coyle is head of the California Hospital Association, and
her “troops” are the highly paid hospital executives she represents. Throughout
the pandemic, as in the December memo in which she quoted Churchill, she has
employed battlefield rhetoric to galvanize their massive political and
financial clout. (Young, 1/26)
